The cottage was quaint and relaxing and the host Suzan was very friendly and accomodating of my little chug Wilbur. The gated patio area outside the cottage is perfect if you have little ones, furbaby or otherwise, as it adds a degree of security and privacy. Also loved the option to open the windows in the evening and enjoy the cool breeze of the nearby ocean. If you travel with children, Marine Park just a few blocks away is a great option!

Excellent stay!!

My boyfriend and I really loved our three night stay in Suzan's beautiful vrbo! Suzan was was an excellent and kind host, and we really enjoyed meeting her and her adorable dog Sunny. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures with all the listed amenities. The indoor space was clean, fresh, bright and inviting, with very tasteful furnishings. The bed was very comfortable. The workspace/desk was a great spot to catch up on some emails and work. The outdoor patio space was beautiful. The laundry machines were super convenient. Parking on the street was very easy. Suzan's home was a terrific home base for our hiking adventures in Runyon Canyon as well as our trips to local beaches and the Getty Villa. It was also conveniently close to some great restaurants in Santa Monica which we got to via uber/lyft. After this terrific experience we are actively looking for excuses to come back to LA just so that we can stay here again!

Venice fall break

Suzan is awesome. She is a wonderful host. This Vrbo was by far the cleanest we have ever stayed which fully appreciate. The place is very up to date and so cute. The bathroom has a heater so you are not cold when you get out. It is a nice big bathroom and shower. Sounds silly but that was awesome for me 😁 The location was very close to everything. I think it’s probably close enough to the beach to bike if you are driving and thinking about bringing your bikes. You will save a mint on parking on the beach or Santa Monica. If you do park at the beach we figured out our last day that towards the south end by the canals is a lot cheaper. The patio is so cute and very well kept up. Huge lime tree on the property if you like to put lime in your water. We never had an issue with parking. You can park right out front. I know that can be an issue in California sometimes. On our second day the washer and dryer room was locked so I contacted Suzan and it literally took her about a minute to unlock for us! My only mistake and I am sure I missed it is I thought it was a one bedroom. It is more like a studio but there is a huge closet to store everything. We never felt cramped at all. It is very bright and open. Suzan also left a book of things to do around the area that was helpful! There is a grocery store right down the street as well. I never leave a review this long. Suzan’s place and her were awesome and we will be back.

Perfect little cottage

I stayed for two nights in Suzan's adorable cottage in Venice. It's clean and welcoming, and it has everything you might want or need. Parking is easy, and the neighborhood is quiet and perfect for walking if that is your thing. Grocery stores, including Erewhon, are a very short drive, as is Abbott Kinney, for some fun shopping and the beach. The airport is also pretty close; it is only a 20-minute drive. I will be back and highly recommend it.

This peaceful little cottage was just perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped to make any sort of meal you would like. The bathroom is gorgeous and pristine with plenty of space for all your toiletries. I loved having a closet where I could unpack and settle in. The hostess, Suzan, is very nice and accommodating. I look forward to spending many more trips here.

Lovely cottage with all the amenities. Plenty of light and breeze. Comfortable outside space. Easy walk to Venice Beach. Nice neighborhood. Easy walk to restaurants, grocery, etc. Host was gracious and helpful. Although the cottage is on her property, we had plenty of privacy .She was easily available if we needed her. I hope we get to come back.

Susan was a great host, and a really nice person. She went put of her way to make sure I had everything I needed while staying at the property, and even went out of her way by meeting me prior to Checkin to help store my luggage. The property was warm and inviting, and even had lime trees right outside the door. The pictures are exactly how the cottage looks in person, and was walkable to Venice beach/ abbot Kinney area in under 30 min. I would most definitely stay here again.

A friend and I booked Suzan's beautiful cottage for a few short nights. The space was perfect for us -- we found everything we needed, it was comfortable, had great natural light, thoughtful guidebooks and recommendations, and a comfortable bed. Suzan was super communicative, responsive, and kind, and was quick to respond to any and all needs. Would highly recommend this booking for anyone looking to explore L.A., we hope to come back!

Wonderful stay with a wonderful host

The cottage is so cozy. It’s great if you just want to relax or if you need a place to kick your feet after adventuring. There’s a grocery store close so we just hopped on lime scooters or lift bikes to get some stuff and spend a night relaxing on our last day. Suzan and sunny are amazing hosts! Suzan is very helpful with check in and while she is right there for anything you need she also gives you your privacy to enjoy yourself. I would stay here again if I’m ever in California again.
